Besides such works, in which the artist has dedicated himself primarily to exploring the possibilities of volume and surface, his curiosity has been especially engaged in recent years by works in marble, which present characteristics more akin to "painting."

In these, the sculptor works with the concepts of "picture" and "frame," in compositions where the frame, as in a traditional painting, emphasizes selected parts of the marble plate, while three-dimensionality is called upon to create the "picture" effect.

Here the varied, coloured inclusions running through the marble become the pictorial motif. The artist tracks them through the stone, carefully uncovers them, and brings their pictorial potential to full development. The "pictures" in the concave marble exhibit effects of depth as well as of contrast, revealing in their highly polished central field inclusions of brilliant quartzite, while the frame remains in matte, polished shine.
